However, it still not as easy as you make out to seem, especially when there is property or children involved.
Most of the people that I have come across getting a divorce are people who have put A LOT of effort into the marriage. It is usually people who have been married over 10, 20, 30 years. I have not yet meet people who just want to divorce because they love paying alimony or child support, dividing their hard-earned money & property, or paying legal & court fees.
Furthermore, as long as you not in that marriage, you really don't know how some people do suffer.
